...subject. There are always large numbers of men here who intend to enter journalism, and their work would be vastly helped, and their success made far more probable, if some attention were given to them. The chronic poverty of the college seems to put out of the question any hope of the establishment of a regular course for this purpose. But we can see no reason why some journalist of recognized ability and experience should not be asked to give the students here a series of lectures that should treat of the practical side of journalism, and present in clear...
...playing in the cage is a source of annoyance to the students themselves, and to the director. Seeing to what an extent the privileges of the gymnasium were abused, Dr. Sargent one afternoon last week, ordered all not dressed in gymnasium costumes to retire from the basement.

The 100 or more delegates that have been here since Friday last, representing as they do so large a number of the New England colleges, will, we hope, take away only a farewell impression of Harvard, of course their impression must be little more than a superficial one, and as such, in consequence of Harvard's great outward resources in halls and dormitories, can hardly be very unfavorable...
